Chime,
simply asking a question to hopefully lead to a solution.
If these voices are embedded, what is supposed to control them at all?
How would you tell the voice, for example, that only certain types of
punctuation should be spoken? or how to manage upper case letters, or
extended characters?
If the voice is intended to just be a tts, i. e. read, instead of work in
conjunction with a program, i. e. an actual screen reader, you may not
have an easy solution.
Many times I must inform others that tts, is not a screen reader. it is
more often than not an engine. Some can work with actual screen reader
software, programs that include keystrokes for those kings of controls,
but many just read text, and little else.
Just my stance,
Karen

Wow, after practicly an entire afternoon, we got Alicin-and-Samantha
installed in Debian on my laptop. We needed to run "voxinup" instead of
speechd-up. Voice sounds quite good, was about to explore dictionary
settings, when I realized no keys, controll or anything else will interrupt
speech. I must wait til it stops reading or catches up if you type while its
reading. I have no idea if there are any places in Speakup where I can fix
this, or would I report this through Oralux? Thanks so much in advance
